Using AVS images in video production
I would like to know if there is any way to capture video from an avs source so that it can be edited and produced within a video.

there an APE that can do that...
Look for AVSGrabber.APE somewhere in this forum...If you can't find it, send me a private message with your email and I'll send it to you...:D

Another more expensive way but giving high quality and even sync sound is using a PC with TV-out and soundcard line-out connected to a recorder (i.e a digital camcorder). Then run AVS in fullscreen and record picture and sound and then capture it back from the recorder via a DV-card,etc. to PC.

expensive?
I'd say going the tv-out route is the cheap way.
1) you can always tell when your footage has been out through analogue and redigitised. it looks awful.
2) you don't need such extreme computer power to achieve good results as your preset is not fighting with the saver code for cpu cycles.

Me gets good results using an external VGA-TV-converter, a Sony digital camcorder and a Fast-DV-Card and capturing from fullscreen 800x600 pixs using pixeldoubling...

how it works
mess for nickdimmick: so you're really new to AVS:) OK,I'll explain you how it works...once you've copied the avsgrabber.ape file in your avs directory, load the preset you want in avs, then click at the bottom of your preset (the last effect), click [+] then pixelcorps then videograbber...In this effect choose your avi output file,activate it ET VOILA:)

EL-Vis: Of course you will get a nice clean image if all of your gear is working properly and your scan converter is of decent quality. (in my experience decent scan converters are very expensive: the TV-out on a modern VGA card is of far higher quality than any affordable SC).
BUT Theres still a big difference between a captured analogue signal and a digitally recorded AVI. colours change, borders move, vertical refresh sync is lost. I'm talking about the kind of high quality that will allow you to apply effects to a clip of live footage, and then edit this effected clip back in with the original footage without noticeable change in colour values. an analogue recording solution will NOT allow this.
Of course it depends on what kind of material you are using/creating. the human eye is far more sensitive to small changes in flesh tones and images of real things than in abstract generated graphics. And it all depends what you are using it for. I've used AVS to generated graphics for music videos that have been broadcast...
